Hello World
Long time no LJ, everyone. =) But I've been reading so I'm actually reasonably up to speed with that part of your life you've chosen to reveal on here.
Yesterday was my graduation ceremony. So I thank you for attending this historical occasion of the maiden speech of the newest Graduate in Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts from the University of Sydney.
Before the big day I was actually rather nonchalant about it and didn't really even ever think much about it. But on the day I felt sick all day. Of course it could've been due to my sleep deprivation this week. Then I was in my gown, hood and trencher. Sitting in the Great Hall with the organ playing behind me, I was suddenly overcome with a feeling of "sadness". I can't really identify that feeling but I'm calling it "sadness" because it made me teary. I didn't let the tears out, but it happened a few times as my Dean droned out our names one by one.
But yes, I'm finally done with uni! I feel validated, vindicated and very very vonderful.
However, a graduation speech that does not digress is not a graduation speech. So, ladies and Ladies, I'm going to start the next part of this speech with this: O Knowledge! Thou art fearsome! hehe You know how sometimes you want to know everything, or rather just really really want to know something. But then you know what you thought you wanted to know and start to wish to un-know it. But I guess in the end it is best to have all the information to make the best conclusions that you can.
Anyway, I heard a rumour too that Tom Hanks died in New Zealand. But that was last week so if it hasn't come out in news yet then it was probably wasn't true. But if it was really true then don't forget you heard from here first. =)
